Firefox's default home page has quick links to common features

This article applies to older versions of Firefox (Firefox version 56 and below). Starting in Firefox Quantum (version 57) the New Tab page is the default Firefox home page.

When you first start Firefox, click the home button or create a new window you're greeted with the home page. The default Firefox home page contains a handy default engine web search and quick links to downloads, bookmarks, history, add-ons, Sync and settings. Also, if you had tabs open the last time you used Firefox, you can restore them from the home page with a single click.
